Chapter 6: Connectivity and Movement

I noted recently that the road outside St Mochta's Grove, leading to Stationcourt and Windmill developments, is referred to as "St Mochta's Link Road".  This road is a cul-de-sac, despite FCC's attempts directly and through Irish Rail, to build a 15 metre flyover bridge from this road, through the Deep Sinking (canal) to Riverwood.  It would be timely to rename this road, as it is confusing to have a link road leading nowhere.

Name aside, there have been some excellent safety improvements on this road.  Ramps have been added (and another planned), in addition to recent double yellow lines on the bad bend.  Referring to CM021, this road is a school route, that students from St Mochta's estate need to cross to access Sheepmore Lane (and on to schools north and south of the rail line).  A pedestrian crossing would make it a lot safer for everyone using this route, whether for school or to access the train station.  The 211 apartments being built further along this road, will increase traffic and, for the past year, the construction traffic has been horrendus.
